One of Scott's cousins got married in Key West a couple weeks ago, and had a reception in Council Bluffs this past weekend. We decided to make a weekend of it, and drove out to Scott's Mom's house Friday evening. I had a plan--we would skip Laurel's nap that day, and then she would sleep the whole way there in the car. I understood that she might get really crabby before we left with no nap, and she might then not ever want to go to bed when we got there. However, my plan worked perfectly! She did not get crabby that afternoon, she slept the whole way there, and she went to sleep easily (mostly because she was sleeping in the bed with Mommy and Daddy).
Saturday morning we went to check out Melanie's new apartment. Then Scott's brother and family arrived to hang out with us for the day before the reception. Laurel really likes playing with her cousins!

Saturday night we drove to Council Bluffs for the reception. It was nice to see all the relatives again (we've seen then a lot this fall between weddings and funerals!).

| Laurel got antsy after a while, so we went out to the lounge area and let her play on the couch. She enjoyed putting a pillow on the coffee table and pretending she was sleeping. |
On Sunday I had to be in Des Moines for a club director meeting for work. Since it was on the way home, Scott and Laurel got to hang out there for a few hours! Our office is in a facility with a gym, and the meeting was in another area of the facility. Laurel got to play with all the animals and balls in the office, and also got to spend some time throwing balls in the gym with Scott. This is one of her favorite things to do!
